The main symptom of osteoarthritis is joint pain, which often occurs in the morning. After activity, the pain is reduced, but if there is too much activity, the pain can be aggravated. Another symptom is joint stiffness, which often occurs in the morning or after the joint maintains a certain position for a long time in the daytime. Joint swelling and tenderness can be seen in the affected joints. There is a sense of friction or "click" sound during activity. Muscle atrophy and joint deformity can be found in severe cases.
